I have two pairs of Peal & Co by C&J shoes that need resoling. Anyone know if Brooks Brothers will handle the resoling? If they do, will they get it done by C&J or do they just use a third-party? If not, any recommendations on getting them resoled? I'm going to miss the channeled stitching if I have to take it somewhere local.

If you are in NYC, there is a C&J store there. You can have them done in the store locally or they will send it back to England for re-crafting.

BB's website is truly terrible. I've tried for about 45 minutes to go through the payment process with a discount code and signed into shoprunner and keep the total the same from screen-to-screen. It was forcing me to checkout as a guest because signing in to my account would make the box for entering discount codes disappear. The shipping cost goes up and down from one screen to the next, and when I get to the payment screen the original discount it had been showing is cut in half.

While we're complaining about their website, I'll mention that they've taken away the ability to "favorite" items on your account. I would frequently favorite things so that I wouldn't forget about buying them later. For awhile you could work around this by adding the item to your cart and then favoriting it from the cart, but they have removed even this. To make matters worse, you also are forever stuck with the old items you have favorited, as there is no way to unfavorite them now. Do they actually want me to buy their clothes, or do they just enjoy running a website that doesn't sell anything?!

I've never made a brooks bros purchase before, and the associates at my store seem pretty off-putting, but I'm wondering if they will generally bring in items online that are on sale or bring them in from other locations so you don't have to pay shipping fees. Thought I'd ask here before going in to ask.

Is it just me or did BB take price across the board on staples (shirts/suits)? At the same time they seem to be heavily discounting some of the seasonal/fashionable stuff (assuming they just missed trend).

Unclear what the rationale is here - menswear is more competitive than ever with RL pushing into tailored Polo with lots of retail store openings. If this was 2010 you could make a case based on cotton prices. But with overall weak traffic trends and limited uptick in consumer spend, I'm not sure how they pull this off.

Edit: I'm in Canada if that makes a difference

I'm in Canada and AFAIK they don't that anymore in order to maximize profit. What you see on sale in store is what you get. They can get an item that's in stock elsewhere in Canada but won't bring in stuff from the warehouse in the US.

anybody have any intel on the next 30% off corporate sale? When was the last one? I feel like we are overdue..

Also, when is the next F&F and the next Semi-annual? Out of the three - which is the best deal for a entry level suit (i assume 1818?)

thanks everybody!!

If history is any guide, there will be a corporate sale and a F&F in close proximity to each other, one in mid/late September and one in early/mid October. If you're in a popular size, expect that regardless of which comes first, the trendiest/seasonal items will all be decimated after the first sale is over.

F&F is 25% off, corporate is 30% off, semi-annual can go up to 40% off. For the past year or two, the semi-annual after Christmas stacks a bonus percent on top of the 40% for the first day or two.

Do you think the "the semi-annual after Christmas stacks a bonus percent on top of the 40% for the first day or two." would be a better time to buy staple shirts?
